Can't believe how many people don't read labels

The Great Health Debate
I've been watching http://www.thegreathealthdebate.com. Great educational health info...and some varying views on nutrition. I love Donna Gates- have her book and it's good stuff!

What about calories burned during strength training?
Why can't that be logged under Exercise? I just started the Lifetime Team Fitness training, which today was intervals of walking, squats, running, lunges, more running, pushups, holding a plank position, etc. So it was active cardio strength training and I'm pretty sure I burned a boatload of calories.

I'm SO hungry!
Why am I so hungry all the time? I just don't get it. It's SO HARD to stay within my calorie limits! I've been going over everyday, mostly because I crave sweets. But I also crave bread and butter, cheese, pasta...all the bad things. I've tried getting lots of protein in the morning by drinking a protein shake instead of…
